Thanks Steve. Do you have any thoughts on a lift maybe a little more beneficial to replace the cable facepulls? Was thinking about maybe some heavy DB rows, but not sure if that would negatively impact my deads the next day.

AMAP Front squats
135 x 8 x 3
Yeah I know this is light weight but I haven't done fronts in forever, and they sucked plenty after deads. So AMAP is used loosely today haha!

RDL
245 x 8 x 3 +6 reps
Last couple of reps got a grunt or two out of me

Kneeling cable crunch
no time today

Cardio
^^^see above^^^

So not the greatest session in the world, but I got done what needed to be done. On a side note, had a kid come up to me during my deads and ask me if I "used" to be a powerlifter. LOL, so I have gained enough size to look like I "used" to be a powerlifter. Next stop, current powerlifter size status hahaha
